This could be something along the lines of farming, glassmaking, or another form of hands on work. Not only could this trade school be used to teach adults, it could extend even to children to teach them how to read, write, and other endeavors into education. A main reason for my choosing of this area is…

According to Parents for Public Schools, “school choice” is the tagline of this year’s legislative session, with the number one topic being charter schools and passing a charter school bill. There are mixed opinions around the state on school choice and charter schools. Educational choice is not a new issue that many are faced with. School choice initiatives are based on the premise that allowing parents…

Even with that, there is little to no diversity in the county overall. According…
